  2. Dumortierite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumortierite

    Dumortierite is a fibrous variably colored aluminium boro - silicate mineral, Al 7 BO 3 (SiO 4) 3 O 3. Dumortierite crystallizes in the orthorhombic system typically forming fibrous aggregates of slender prismatic crystals. The crystals are vitreous and vary in color from brown, blue, and green to more rare violet and pink.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_faience

    Tile frieze with lotus and grapes. Egyptian faience is a sintered-quartz ceramic material from Ancient Egypt. The sintering process "covered [the material] with a true vitreous coating" as the quartz underwent vitrification, creating a bright lustre of various colours "usually in a transparent blue or green isotropic glass".

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress

    The dress. The dress was a 2015 online viral phenomenon centred on a photograph of a dress. Viewers disagreed on whether the dress was blue and black, or white and gold. The phenomenon revealed differences in human colour perception and became the subject of scientific investigations into neuroscience and vision science.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llanite

    Llanite. Llanite is a porphyritic rhyolite with distinctive phenocrysts of blue quartz (a rare quartz color) and perthitic feldspar (light grayish-orangeish). The brown, fine-grained groundmass consists of very small quartz, feldspar, and biotite mica crystals. Llanite comes from a hypabyssal porphyritic rhyolite dike that intrudes Precambrian ...

    Other black lights use plain glass instead of the more expensive Wood's glass, so they appear light-blue to the eye when operating. [citation needed] Incandescent black lights are also produced, using a filter coating on the envelope of an incandescent bulb that absorbs visible light (see section below). These are cheaper but very inefficient ...

    Chromostereopsis. Blue–red contrast demonstrating depth perception effects. 3 Layers of depths "Rivers, Valleys & Mountains". Chromostereopsis is a visual illusion whereby the impression of depth is conveyed in two-dimensional color images, usually of red–blue or red–green colors, but can also be perceived with red–grey or blue–grey ...

  8. Williams process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williams_process

    The Williams process relies on the properties of film. Firstly, the actors were filmed in front of a black background—although white or blue backgrounds were used later—and that was printed on high contrast film several times until a copy known as the holdout matte was achieved, which showed the black silhouette of the actors over a completely white background.

    The black resist is the first to be applied; this will create a black grid (known in the industry as a black matrix) that will separate red, green and blue subpixels from one another, increasing contrast ratios and preventing light from leaking from one subpixel onto other surrounding subpixels.
